Answer:
The samurai, members of a powerful military caste in feudal Japan, began as provincial warriors before rising to power in the 12th century with the beginning of the country’s first military dictatorship, known as the shogunate. As servants of the daimyos, or great lords, the samurai backed up the authority of the shogun and gave him power over the mikado (emperor). The samurai would dominate Japanese government and society until the Meiji Restoration of 1868 led to the abolition of the feudal system. Despite being deprived of their traditional privileges, many of the samurai would enter the elite ranks of politics and industry in modern Japan. More importantly, the traditional samurai code of honor, discipline and morality known as bushido–or “the way of the warrior”–was revived and made the basic code of conduct for much of Japanese society.
Early Samurai
During the Heian Period (794-1185), the samurai were the armed supporters of wealthy landowners–many of whom left the imperial court to seek their own fortunes after being shut out of power by the powerful Fujiwara clan. The word “samurai” roughly translates to “those who serve.” (Another, more general word for a warrior is “bushi,” from which bushido is derived; this word lacks the connotations of service to a master.)

Philippines as kind of a backwater station, and so sent to that colony old and
obsolete wooden ships and gunboats. To Cuba, the Spanish station its best ships
there including the steel-clad protected cruiser San Cristobal. The U.S sent
the Asiatic Squadron, commanded by George Dewey, to subdue Spanish ships. Dewey’s
fleet simply outgunned and tore his way out of the wooden Spanish vessels. Campaign
in Cuba needed U.S Navy operations and a land campaign by U.S Army and U.S
Marines, and were successful in destroying the Spanish fleet there.

The Munich Agreement should not have been approved by the Parliament.
Explanation:
The Munich Agreement was at the end of a long list of policies of appeasement that ended up aggravating and resulted in the world war. This was avoidable because after the Versailles treaty either the powers could have doubled down on Germany or offered them more generous terms.
Instead what was done was that the Nazis were allowed to take over smaller territories while the allied nations sat back and watched and agreed to it. This emboldened Germany and eventually made the war possible.
